SEQUENCE ADVERBS

&
FORMS
NAME: STEVEN HIROSHI FRANSTITO
01 _XII UPW
WHAT IS SEQUENCE ADVERBS ?

 Adverb sequences that describe how to do or make something.


 We use adverbs of sequence to describe the order in which things happen.
 We often use adverbs of sequence to tell a story, write a recipe, or give directions. Adverbs of sequence almost
always come at the beginning of a sentence and are followed by a comma (,) First and next can also go at the end
of a sentence
INTRODUCTION

WE USE THE SEQUENCE ADVERBS "FIRST", "NEXT", "THEN" AND "FINALLY" TO DESCRIBE
THE ORDER IN WHICH TWO OR MORE ACTIONS HAPPEN.

 Example:
Making an omelette
"First, I break the eggs. Then, I heat the butter in a pan. Next, I add the eggs. Finally, I eat the omelette with
toast."

Example:
 First, spread the peanut butter on two slices of bread. Then cut the banana into small pieces. Next, put the banana
slices on one slice of bread. After that, pour honey over the bananas. Finally, place the other bread slices on top.
WHAT IS FORMS ?

 A little bit different from the adverbs, we use a comma after "first", "next", "then" and "finally" when they
introduce the sentence that describes the action.

Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the end of the related adjective. ... It is often difficult to tell at first
whether the word is an adjective or an adverb. The general rule is to look at the other words which it occurs with.
 Example :
 "first": for an action that happens before any others. We can also use "first" at the end of the sentence.
 "I have a lot of work to do. First, I will make a cup of tea."
 "I will make a cup of tea first."

 "next" and "then" can both be used for an action that happens after another action but we usually use:
 "next": for an action that happens immediately after another action, or as soon as possible. We can also use "next" at the end of the sentence.
 "I went to Bolivia on holiday. "Next", I want to go to Brazil."
 "I’m eating breakfast now. I will clean the kitchen "next"."
 "then": for an action that happens after another action if it’s not immediate. We can use "and then" without a comma.
 "Sarah is doing her degree. Then, she wants to be a lawyer."
Sarah will probably not be a lawyer immediately after she gets her degree.
 "They went shopping in the morning and then they went to the zoo."
We don’t know if they went to the zoo immediately after they went shopping.

 "finally":
for the action that happens at the end, after any others, or after a long time. We can use "finally" before the
verb without a comma.
 "I worked all evening. Finally, I went to bed at 11pm."
 "I worked all evening and I finally went to bed at 11pm."
 "After five years, I finally sold the house."
